ide-generic: don't probe all legacy ISA IDE ports by default
We can't probe all legacy ISA IDE ports by default as the resources may be occupied by other ISA devices. Add "probe_mask" module parameter and probe only first two ISA IDE ports by default leaving the decision about probing the rest to the user (systems with ISA ide2-6 should be very, very rare). This fixes a regression caused by: commit 343a3451e20314d5959b59b992e33fbaadfe52bf Author: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com> Date: Tue Jun 10 20:56:36 2008 +0200 ide-generic: add missing hwif->chipset setup ...
